End of an Era…New Decade on the Horizon

Posted by The Design Assassin (Admin) On December - 23 - 2009

If you’re anything like me, you probably be really glad to see the arse end 2009. To me personally, when one of those crazy up down years, where you get the good with the bad and lots of both. Thanks to unavoidable circumstances, all the things I set out to do in 2009 got pushed to the sidelines. Which means I personally have the pack to use into 2010.

So, I’ve had a mental advent calendar in my head for at least the past 3 months, just thinking of all the fantastic things I’m going to do in the next year :roll: – or do i mean :-P

In aid of this dazzling new decade, I personally and officially declared next year to be:

2010 — the Year of Awesomeness! TM

Posted by The Design Assassin (Admin) On December - 18 - 2009

Understandably there are many people in the world do not use Firefox, but if you’re still stuck on Internet Explorer then good luck with that.  This post isn’t really aimed at you, so you may wish to ignore it.

Firefox Add-ons

Firefox Add-ons

If you haven’t already guessed I’m a big Firefox fan and tend to use it over other browsers. Personally I try and avoid Internet Explorer, and generally only use Safari if I’m on another Mac. Firefox addicts have created a ton of add-ons and plug-ins to make your life easier and enhance your browsing.

So whilst this is not an exhaustive list, by any measure, I thought I’d share some of the handy web design / general design tools and plug-ins that I’ve come across for– take your pick. On no particular order. I may add to this list later…

Travel Faster with the Scooter Suitcase

Posted by The Design Assassin (Admin) On December - 7 - 2009

Ok so I would think that Security would be over you quick smart if you were flying around the airport (all puns intended) on one of these. However the concept is kind of novel. Made as a joint project with Samsonite and Micro Mobility, I think it could be further enhanced by adding a 2-stroke motor so you didn’t even have to push.

But that is just my personal opinion. It’s another one of those gadgets absolutely perfect for rich business types who don’t have time to walk places and are always missing their gate calls. You know, the ones they call for over the PA when the rest of the plane has boarded and the Captain is ready to taxi down the runway, but they cant cuz some wanker is MIA? Yeah…that :mrgreen:

I shall tell you all about it when i actually come up with a reasonable blurb as to what is so special about me and have drafted something to write in this space - which i am filling with dummy text so it doesnt look so bare.

Speaking of bare, bear with me as I get this shindig sorted! FINALLY :)
